Bill Maher, Stop knocking the OWS 99%!

[kimmerspixelated]

Bill, I love you, rarely miss your show, but what the hell were you thinking? You're mockery undermines the OWS. This is a game-changing serious, national and international uprising and awakening dammit, so cut it out!

THANK GOD ALAN GRAYSON set it straight!

Alan Grayson-YOU ROCK!

1. Maybe he was just doing the set-up

for Grayson's smack-down. It seemed to work out that way.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. That was my take on it as well.

And Bill Maher is just . . . well, he's Bill Maher. Offending others is his thing.

[EFerrari]

4. That's possible. He baited PJ so he would pop off. n/t

[ixion]

3. It undermines Maher's credibility, in my opinion...

because it's very clear what OWS is about, and he's purposely trying to obscure the message.

5. I don't have HBO anymore, but suprised at this. I do recall Bill Maher

once saying he did not share Michael Moore's views on Capitalism. Maybe this spills over into OWS too, I have no idea ...

6. Bill Maher, for some strange reason, is

thought of as a liberal. He's not. He's actually very conservative, just not religious right conservative.

Any time I watch him I almost invariably find myself disagreeing with him, thinking he's totally wrong about whatever it is he's saying. I haven't bothered to pay attention to him in years.

[JanMichael]

7. he is socially liberal but not economically so.

prolly due to the money. like randroids are.

[geek tragedy]

8. Maher is a racist, misogynistic douchebag who cashes his

checks from corporate America. Why are people surprised he's acting like a dick?

[seabeyond]

10. i dont recall racist, but certainly misogynist adn i have found racism and homophobia generally

goes along with the sexism, so i can buy it.

[geek tragedy]

11. He compares Obama to Suge Knight and other rappers

or hip-hoppers with regularity.

Because what Harvard-trained lawyer hasn't been associated with gangsta rap?

[seabeyond]

12. +1. nt

[seabeyond]

9. bil, i don't love you, though at times i like you. i do miss your show often. AND

you can really be off sometimes. this was one of them

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Maher's also an anti-vaccination woo woo goober

He's right on some things; evolution, pot legalization, fighting censorship or other doily-clutching puritannical ninnies... he's usually a fair voice for modest Democratic concerns like health coverage, and he makes good fun of Republicans.

But, he's not always right.
